Tenth chapter! Yeah!!
Okay, this is it! No more characters will be accepted. None, no, nada.
I started school on the Third of September, so I'll probably write more. My homework takes less than my chores. ^_^.
Key: "Human and untranslated hybrid and Pokemon speech," "*Pokemon and Hybrid speech translated,*" * thinking * Present action.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The van pulled up. Nik stood with her arms crossed and waited for her recruits to pile out.
Out of the black van came Samantha first, "You really are insane, aren't you?"
"This is our only chance." Nik said.
Barry came out second, two .44 magnums by his side, "Gun-slinger reporting, Ma'am"
Following the Ursaring Hybrid was Kagami, "Infiltrator set and ready to go."
"I'm surprised to see you here, Pinky." Nik smirked.
"I'll be the doctor on field," Mike got a bag out of the van, "My sister Lisa will handle bigger wounds out here."
The Noctowl Hybrid who had done the speech on Legendaries poked his head out, "I'll be your tech today."
"Alex, make sure you actually do your job." Nik called.
"You mess up one time. . ." Alex said, shutting the doors to the van.
"Well, I've got to be back up." Samantha sighed with a bit of bitterness in her voice.
"You aren't my fighter?" Nik blinked.
"No." A Scyther hybrid stepped out of the van.
"Blade." Nik groaned under her breath, "Kobra's gotten his revenge on me."
Blade walked to where the others were standing and smirked, but said nothing. He was the eldest of the group, about twenty seven. He had blond hair and blue eyes and wore sunglasses and black clothing.
"Listen, Renraw. On this mission, I am your superior. So no hacking hunters to pieces or anything." Nik told him.
Blade stared at her like he had no idea of what she was talking about, but said nothing.
"Okay people. Follow me." Nik went north through a forest.
A mile or so from where they had the van, a barbed wire fence barred their way.
The group walked to a weaker part of the fence, and Blade cut though the links. Once every one was on the other side, the party followed near a paved road. A steel, squarish building came into sight with others like it in neat rows around it. A patrol hunter turned the corner and aimlessly looked around. Barry jumped him and soon he was rendered unconscious.
Digging out the man's Key Card, Kagami inspected his face. She morphed into his likeness and grabbed his gun.
Kagami walked around to a door and slid the Key Card in the lock. She walked inside and looked around. Kagami motioned for every one else to come in. The room was dark, with the exception of a computer screen that flashed every so often. Nik sat down and said into a com link, "Okay, Alex. This is your job."
"Yup." The Noctowl hybrid said, pushing up his glasses and typing furiously on his keyboard.
The screen went black and green font appeared: ENTERING OHA CYBER-NET. TYPE PASSWORD: ************
Nik pressed enter and green type blinked underneath the first line: SLIDE KEY CARD.
Kagami slid the key card through a device and the screen flickered.
"This is it."

"Well, you aren't getting to the head quarters' main system yet." Alex smirked.
"Alex, release the virus, were in deep enough." Nik reminded him.
The computer's screen went blank and the group scurried out the door.
"The cameras and most electronic devices connected to that computer should be dysfunctional now. Barry and Mike: set the charges on the radio tower. Kagami, infiltrate the building and find the main computer and set your charge there. Blade, cover me. I'm going for the garage." Nik ran off with Blade behind her.
Nik ran around a corner and looked behind her as Blade scouted in the other direction.
"Get down!" Blade yelled and pushed Nik to the ground as gun fire rang out.
Nik picked herself up and dashed to an alley between buildings. She looked franticly around when a Hunter opened a side door of the building to the left. Nik grabbed the nearest thing she could; a garbage can's lid. She threw it Frisbee-style and it managed to catch the Hunter in the head. Nik started to make a quick exit when two more Hunters cut her off. She backed up.
"Put your hands in the air and turn around." One ordered.
Nik stared at him and gritted her teeth.
"Now!" When Nik resisted still, the Hunter growled and advanced.
Two Umbreons dived off a building and tackled the Hunter. He fell to the ground while his partner ran into the other building.
Nik and her two rescuers ran to a grove of forest.
"*Thanks.*" Nik panted.
One Umbreon emitted a blue light and changed into a female Hybrid with Umbreon tail and limbs and black fur all over, "*You're welcome.*"
"*What- are you here all alone?*" Nik asked.
"*I seem to be having better luck than you,*" She smirked, "*besides, I have Nightslice and Darkclaw.*"
"*Your Pokemon.*" Nik assumed.
"*Now, what are you doing here?*"
"*I am apart of an organization called Kageokumo. My squad is here to shut OHA down.*"
"*Where are you going?*"
"*The garage. I have charges that I'm going to use.*"
"*I'll take you. Just stay close.*"
The two Hybrids jumped to the top of a tree and then to the top of a building. The Umbreon Hybrid led Nik to the western division. The two silently landed two meters from the garage's main door.
Nik turned to her tour guide, "*Thanks. Not to be rude or anything, but don't plan to come in the garage with me. You can come with my group back to K.K., if you'd like.*"
"*I'll think about going with you, but I can handle myself. I know more about hunters than you.*"
"*I'd rather not have you come. But I can't stop you.*"
Nik opened the door quickly, the Umbreon Hybrid behind her, and set her charges on five vans, "We have twenty minutes to clear out of here."
Two shots rang out and the two hybrids flung themselves out of the way. The closed van now had two bullets where they were standing.
Nik looked in a van's side mirror to see a man in his early twenties, wearing a very formal tuxedo and sunglasses holding an eighteen millimeter pistol.
"Those were warning shots," The man said, "I don't have to kill you, but I don't have to keep you alive either."
A scuffle from behind a van was all the reply he got.
"I suppose it is proper to introduce yourself. My name is Alucard." He called after a few minutes.
Nik looked at where he was in another mirror. *He isn't coming from the same direction that he was. He was west to me, and now he's east. What is this?*, she looked at the charge clock that read: 12:32.
A few more tense minutes passed when Nik spoke out, "Why do you do this? I can't accept that you kill things just because they are dangerous. You don't kill Marowaks. You don't kill Wheezings!"
"I cannot say for the others of my profession, but I kill because that is what I was made to do." Alucard answered.
"Made?"
"Yes."
An earsplitting shatter of glass was heard as a figure burst through a window. The Scyther Hybrid rushed Alucard and tackled him. Alucard staggered back but recovered and charged back. The opponents met each other and made a flurry of blows that the human eye could not trace.
Alucard shifted his weight wrong and one of the Hybrid's blades cut him across the cheek. He scoffed and kept fighting, more aggressively than ever.
Nik raced towards the door and changed into her Complete form so that she could run faster. She looked back to see the Umbreon Hybrid on top of the building over and running. Nik took off running the same direction but turned around.
"*Blade! C'mon!*" She yelled through the window, and then dashed in the other direction.
Nik soon saw Blade behind her, dodging bullets as well as he could, and sped up.
The radio tower suddenly burst into flames. The garage exploded about three minutes after that. Nik ran through the fence and looked at the people that were there. One Umbreon Hybrid, one Ursaring Hybrid, one Sneasel Hybrid, and Blade coming behind her.
"Where's Kagami?" Nik asked.
"*I'll go after her.*" The Umbreon Hybrid said and jumped the fence and ran back before someone could stop her.
A few moments passed when Barry pulled Nik over, "*You know we might have to leave them.*"
"*How fair is that? Leaving two civilians in there?*" Nik complained.
"*Nik, you have to face that sometimes-*" Barry was cut off by an explosion.
"That was the last charge." Mike packed a few things into his bag and stood up.
Nik strained her eyes and after a few moments passed, turned away.
"Let's go."
The squad walked the mile south and reached their transport.
Samantha leaned against the van, "Hey, where is . . . Kagami?"
"We're heading back to head quarters." Nik stated.
"But Nik-" Samantha cut herself off and scowled.
Nik sat in front and Barry took the Driver seat. Nik looked at the side mirror and saw something move.
"Hey!!" A voice called.
Nik opened her door and jumped out.
"You didn't think you could leave us behind, now did you?"
"K-K-Kagami!" Nik stuttered and paused, "Don't EVER do that AGAIN!"
"Pish-posh," Kagami smiled, "I'm here, aren't I?
"And you," Nik turned to the Umbreon Hybrid, "I don't think I ever got your name. I'm Nik."
"Hi. I'm Kia, people also know me as Shadowdeath."
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"It's not the end you know. We still have to go back and explain this all to Kobra." Barry said to Nik.
"Yeah, but I bet that the first thing everyone is going to do is zone out and fall asleep." Nik chuckled.
They parked about a fourth of a mile away and walked the rest.
"Hey, do you smell that?" Kia asked.
"Yeah, it's smoke." Mike answered.
Nik passed the last few trees to find Hope's cottage obliterated.
Darios padded to Nik and collapsed in a heap, panting "*Nik, you're okay. . . I'm very happy about that.*"
"*What- What happened, Darios?*" Nik pulled the Houndoom to his feet.
Darios whimpered, "*They found us. The Hunters destroyed the Web.*"
Okay, this is it! No more characters will be accepted. None, no, nada.
